Wondering how long it will be before the crooks and scammers arrive to clean it out.

And the prices are reduced by how much since no employee labor is required for check out?

None. The pricing reflects a “convenience fee” for not having to hassle with a traditional checkout.

I worked in a grocery store when I was a kid.
The fact that it employed four or five dozen young female cashiers was its main attraction. ;)

Grab it and go. Your Amazon account gets charged after you leave the store with your purchases.
Contactless grocery shopping. No need to wait in a checkout line.

What would be hilarious is if hundreds of Seattle homeless people claimed the place as their home....

I avoid self-checkout like the COVID-19.
Note how self-check replaces one moderate skill job that requires normal customer interaction, with multiple TSA-like goon positions of people who are learning to trust no one for minimum wage.
What an f’ed up idea.

Its not free. They take it out from your bank account. The convenience I think will bring a lot of people on board.

It cuts overhead costs and lowers prices throughout the store. A concept whose time has come.

Lol--the local Walmart "goon" is a (not that attractive) lady who has the hots for me--she is _not_ focused on her job... ;-)

Seattle won’t prosecute low-level shoplifting, so I’m guessing not very long.
To: 1Old Pro
No cashiers. None are needed. Contactless payment has eliminated the need to have a human middleman handle and process payments.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- Gov. Andrew Cuomo plans to eliminate toll booths from the New York State Thruway by 2020. Under the proposal, drivers wouldn't have to stop at a single toll booth from New York City to Buffalo along the 496-mile "superhighway."It's happening all over, people better learn to code.

Shoplifting groceries isnt something that can be easily done except for easily concealable items.
Do it at your own risk.
